I have a beautiful friend with autism and needs to finish the conversation before moving onto another. I switch in the middle of the conversation and go back and forth between the new and old subject Puts her mind in a spiral. And sometimes, I am so far into my new part that I just can’t go back to the other part of me to finish the conversation. I really don’t give a shit because I’m a different part who lacks some empathy. How do we both get our own needs met in this kind of circumstances?

I don’t want to be a dick to her.

Do you have any relationship advice? Tips or tricks? What worked and what didn’t?

Has anyone seen the show and felt seen?

Can you tell when you are dissociating or does it happen like Tara’s? Does your family know when you go from one to another? If so, do you know what you do? Is it physically like Tara’s character? Her whole body changes with the different part.

Has anyone used or looked into a parts card deck. like these https://www.inneractivecards.com/introduction.html

Anyone have experiences with these? If so, any tips?

Someone also said you could use a deck of cards for your parts.

Do you want to talk about neurodivergence, Maslows Hierarchy of needs, and reflecting what it was like for you at age 12? And did you hear voices as a child?
Does this interest you? DM me. I want to help people like us.

Thanks!
